A new ranking procedure by incomplete pairwise comparisons using preference subsets
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for ranking of alternatives or objects and its extensions by incomplete pairwise comparisons using Dempster-Shafer theory are proposed in the paper. The main feature of the method is that it allows us to deal with comparisons of arbitrary subsets of alternatives. The method is extended on the case of independent groups of experts. The imprecise Dirichlet model is also used to make cautious decisions in several cases. Various numerical examples illustrate the proposed method and its extensions.

Partial Ranking by Incomplete Pairwise Comparisons Using Preference Subsets
In multi-criteria decision making the decision maker need to assign weights to criteria for evaluation of alternatives, but decision makers usually find it difficult to assign precise weights to several criteria. On the other hand, decision makers may readily provide a number of preferences regarding the relative importance between two disjoint subsets of criteria. We extend a procedure by L. V...
متن کاملA Ranking Procedure by Incomplete Pairwise Comparisons Using Information Entropy and Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory
Decision-making, as a way to discover the preference of ranking, has been used in various fields. However, owing to the uncertainty in group decision-making, how to rank alternatives by incomplete pairwise comparisons has become an open issue. In this paper, an improved method is proposed for ranking of alternatives by incomplete pairwise comparisons using Dempster-Shafer evidence theory and in...
متن کاملCREDIBILITY THEORY ORIENTED PREFERENCE INDEX FOR RANKING FUZZY NUMBERS
This paper suggests a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e. $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed preference criterion are also studied. Moreover, the proposed method is applied for ranking fuzz...

متن کاملWhen can we rank well from comparisons of \(O(n\log(n))\) non-actively chosen pairs?
Ranking from pairwise comparisons is a ubiquitous problem and has been studied in disciplines ranging from statistics to operations research and from theoretical computer science to machine learning. Here we consider a general setting where outcomes of pairwise comparisons between items i and j are drawn probabilistically by flipping a coin with unknown bias Pij , and ask under what conditions ...
